Following contains excerpts from DCBLOG posts earlier this year, reposted in the interest of readers.
With news of their relationship now starting to emerge, we thought about taking a look back to two stories that featured him from our coverage of the last Trifecta cycle earlier this year, when he first announced his intent to get cast on AYTO Season 6 on the Season 5 After Show with new host Terrence J, then going on a one-night stand with Madison from Real World Skeletons and ex of current Challenge competitor Tony. Enjoy this bonus edition of ExtraTime.
A TEEN DAD'S TRIFECTA CONNECTIONS
But there is something to mention about that guy, and perhaps this may see the returning of the favor we saw in someone who dated a Teen Dad get on AYTO himself. If you were with us for Season 3 two years ago, you may remember Kiki, who was a girlfriend of Ryan Edwards, who was for years husband to Maci Bookout when she and the O.G. were on hiatus from shooting...we offered that story there. Well, we may have something on our hands come later this year.
Someone who's been a key figure on Teen Mom 2 is Javi Marroquin, who was the first husband of Kailyn Lowry, and where both actually tied the knot the same night the season 1 cast sealed their $1 million. As everyone knows by now, Javi and Kail recently went through a very public breakup and those who have been watching the show the past year and have read the tabloids or so have seen this play out in front of more than simply family and close friends. Him also serving in the Army - including a tour of duty in Qatar - also helped to complicate matters, as well as having to share custody of one of her two sons, which has been no easy task given what's happened to the both of them.
In case you missed it, here's the transcript of Javi's words from the After Match when he checked in via Skype to tell everyone that he has just sent his audition video in hopes that he can have a rebound girl on Are You The One?.
"Hey, what’s going on everybody? This is Javi. Most of you probably know me from Teen Mom 2 — got my little koozie here. So if you do, you probably know my story — what happened to me — and you know I love to love. I’m out here looking for love. I just can’t find it. It’s not in the DMs, it’s not anywhere. I can’t find it. So if you do know about me, you know I got a three-year-old little boy. He means everything to me. And, yeah, I’m just trying to figure out who’s the one, trying to take somebody out on a date."
Well, if his dream does come true, logistics get worked out and he becomes the latest to make the crossover in the MTV world after what we saw with Mike going from AYTO Season 3 to Real World Bad Blood, he will have made at least two friends with Team Trifecta. And he met both of them last year while at the MTV Video Music Awards festivities in the New York, for which we'd like to share those pics with them from his Instagram @JaviM9.
And second, there's him, a Real World'er and a girl from the Bad Girls Club. On the far left is Jay from Ex-Plosion, who knows a thing about being in love and getting caught for it...take what happened in San Francisco for example. And sandwiched in between them is Rocky Santiago of Oxygen's Bad Girls Club. For a primer on her, she came onto Season 10 of the show when it took place down in Atlanta when she was a replacement roommate for one of the girls who was kicked off, then reappeared on Season 13 - Redemption. Rocky also appeared on its spinoff All-Star Battle where she left after both an argument with one of the competitors and when her dad passed away, and then on ASB 2 where she made it to the end as well.Javi has been in the news lately for the wrong reasons, but imagine if - just if - he was casted on Season 6 of Are You The One? It's a probability and if Magic Mike can do his thing on two Trifecta shows, it could happen with Javi going for love.

MADISON & JAVI: THE NEXT MTV POWER COUPLE?
Last week saw news emerge that he had begun to see Madison Walls from Real World Skeletons... yes, that same Madison who had went through a drug-ridden past, who last year at this time had become a new mom, and the same one who had met Tony there in Chicago, who would become a dad not once, but twice in the course of a single year. And this comes after the two had talked on Instagram about them having a lot in common of both having been on MTV and being parents...in Javi's case, he shares custody of 3-year-old Lincoln with Kail. And both he & her went through a very public divorce a few months ago.
Maddi told E! News last week, "Javy and I are definitely together. We are definitely boyfriend and girlfriend. I love that he is a gentleman. And I like his core values and that he has morals and just what he stands for. I'm really excited for him to come to Austin next month. I;m going to introduce him to my friends and family and Harper and it should just be a really good time, and then we are making plans for this summer together."
The photo above is of Madison flying up from Austin to his home of Philadelphia for that first date. He told E! of that encounter, "We enjoyed a nice bottle of wine and then later I had my friends come out to meet her and we all went out and danced and drank and just had a really good time. It was awesome. I haven't introduced her to Lincoln yet. I learned from my past mistakes where I introduced him way too early on in a relationship, so now I know better. Kail knows about the relationship for sure. I'm happy for Kail. I wish her nothing but the best and health and wellness and all of that stuff. I'm her for her. We actually are in a good place, and I just want health for her and the baby. Lincoln is actually the one who told me she was having a baby. He knows what's going on. He's excited to have another sibling."
While there is a protection from abuse order given to Javi by Kail, an insider reports to Hollywood Life that the Teen Mom is feeling a bit jealous about all this that if this thing gets serious, which appears to be the case, then she feels it's best that Lincoln and her other son Isaac should stay home and not be around Madison and baby Harper, considering how fresh their split still remains.
And there's one interesting person has something to say about this: for Tony, nothing but good words, shall we say - per E! News: "For me, it was really sudden, but with Madison, we have a really, really good relationship. Things were rocky for a long time but we co-parent so well and she’s just awesome with Harper. I am really thankful for that. I find it kind of interesting. I’m really happy for her." He adds of Javi, "I've seen Javi a few times on the show and as far as I can tell, you know, he's a military guy and that's awesome. I see how he is with his children and that's very commendable. So, I'm pretty excited for Madison. I think she deserves a good guy and happiness and all that good stuff. I think with this the sky is the limit for them."
For those like me who watches all three shows of the Trifecta, there's a whole dynamic of great people and big time drama that threads each of those shows that take place both on- and off-screen... it also shares some traits with MTV's most-watched show post-Jersey Shore. And those who watch Teen Mom know that the franchise is an intriguing melodrama that enthralls a lot of people and gives gossip sites and the tabloids something to write on whenever something happens to the eight young moms whose lives have been documented by MTV for eight years, stretching back to Season 1 of 16 and Pregnant. I have something in common with Tony, Madison and Javi living with young kids in our house, which is always fun for me but also demanding for those who get to raise them and revolve their off-camera lives around the demands of parenthood.
This new relationship bringing together one part of the most-recent Real World fan favorite romance and another from a show with certainly more eyeballs (and one that also provided eyeballs not only to Are You The One but also Catfish too) just adds another intriguing storyline for those who produce Teen Mom to keep their eyes for, and also to bring some interest (much-needed in a way) to the one that started it all for this whole world of reality TV. Perhaps, there could be a moment down the road where baby Harper, Tony's daughter Isia and Lincoln are all playing in a playground. It could happen...stay tuned.
